Materials would make sense, but I can't think of what else Omega would be doing there so soon. O-Mega steel was the newest material, maybe some kind of titanium alloy next? Anything precious metal is too expensive to be a "big value"
Bio Ceramic and cheaper movements is going in the opposite direction that Omega has been aiming for the last few years, so I disagree with those guesses.
Could be expanding the new steel to include other models? Planet Ocean would make sense there, a natural progression. The quote says singular "watch", though, so maybe a PO special edition?
If it's a new innovation it is probably movement related. Like a split second 3861, or a flyback feature on the 3861, or some other novel feature that we haven't seen before.
If it's material related maybe a 42 mm ceramic case and bracelet for the Speedmaster.
Splits or flyback would be interesting.
I'm a bit fearful of ceramic. The idea that if you drop it and it hits the ground at a certain angle it can crack, that's a turn off. The edges are a bit sharp too (not skin cutting, but sharp). The one thing I didn't like about the Apollo 8 DSOTM was the ceramic case.
But Omega seems to like the material.
What are "they" going to come up with ?

Omega just posted on their Instagram, we'll see something new January 26th. Looks like a new mainspring but maybe someone with more movement knowledge can chime in.
